A comforting blend of chai spice, mandarin and fennel.
The story: Inspired by Steinbeck's classic novella, which centres around dreams, companionship, and the realities of life, the earthy scent of chai spice and sweet, uplifting mandarin will warm your soul on any cold day.

Customer Reviews
I'm not particularly fond of this scent but it's still great! It's super moisturising and I love the cardboard packaging.
This is the first tube balm I’ve tried from LLB apart from the lip tints, and I absolutely love it. The little tins are so cute and useful and I would never be without one but putting them in a tube helps so much when it comes to being out and about in current times. I used this one as soon as it arrived and my lips are in love. The amount you get in the tube is really good so I can imagine this lasting me a while in my bag! I also love the play on words, you cannot beat a good pun!
I was delighted with this lip balm. The scent is subtle but lovely; it’s definitely a warm, comforting scent. I have tried a few of these tube balms now, and I love them; the formula of the balm itself is amazing, and they are great for taking out and about, when a tin balm is less practical.
I recieved this lipbalm a surprise and now that I am almost out of it, I can say without a doubt that it is one of the best ones I ever used. The scent is so comforting and the texture is great. It is rich without being to heavy. It goes on well (gets melty on your lips, sometimes I feel chapstick type products can be too hard during the colder months) and leaves my lips so soft!
I am also loving the plastic free packaging!!!
I'm a sucker for chai lattes and chai lip balm is what i need in winter the most :)
